The heart and soul of the Seppeltsfield fortified range is the Para Tawny Collection. Para has been synonymous with luxurious fortified wine for over a century, with the iconic insignia being the name of the river that meanders through the Barossa landscape. Our Para Tawny Collection includes blended styles classified as ‘Grand’ and ‘Rare’, as well as single vintage expressions - sheer concentration and complexity maintaining Seppeltsfield’s reputation as Australia’s greatest fortified wine estate.

The 21 Year Old Para Tawny stands alone as a single vintage wine, whereby the most select parcels of 2003 vintage wine are drawn from barrel and bottled as a special celebratory release. Its style therefore has the added complexity of being a reflection of the growing conditions during a singular season. Parcels have matured in old oak hogsheads. Brandy spirit has been used as the fortification element, which along with extensive oxidative ageing, gives rise to roasted nut, praline and spiced aromas and flavours.
